WHAT’S THE HURRY- LET CHILDREN BE CHILDREN
0₹399.00About The Book
In India, the socio-economic system generally ignores mental health of children. Neither parents, nor the teachers, nor the government acknowledge that every child, irrespective of caste, colour, class or creed is entitled to equity, justice, opportunity and affection. When the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences, Bangalore began its first Community Mental Health Movement, author Malavika Kapur was a part of it, approaching the schools with the aim of sensitising teachers to mental health of children. In Ayurveda, the total support for the woman and child before and after birth is an extraordinarily well-thought out social practice. The samskaras provide for stage-wise development of the child. India’s tradition say, 7-11 is the phase to begin scholastic activities. In multilingual India, only English is the upwardly mobile language. Strangely, India is adopting a system that is neither Indian nor Western where her 135 million children are at risk. Malavika and her colleagues found that teachers were neither interested, nor motivated to help children by promoting their psychosocial development. Their sole interest was in promoting academic performance.
After assessment and assistance programmers with 10,000 urban school children, 1500 rural children and about 2000 tribal children, the NIMHANS teams came up with a set of conclusions.
Children in India, even from well-to-do families, are surrounded by adverse conditions. In homes as well as schools. Home, school, society, knowingly or unknowingly, compromise a child’s mental health and growth. India has forgotten the lessons from her scriptures and legends. That children come with three kinds of temperaments. That reading and writing before the prescribed age (about 6 years) for Vidya arambh is WRONG. There is a right time for everything. That a child’s language skills develop best from three years on and Indians have a natural gift which is ignored. There is almost no PLAY, only learning by rote and too much of emphasis on technology, television and mobile phones. Keeping all these issues in mind, this book asks WHAT’S THE HURRY. It tells parents and teachers: Give The Child Time to Grow the Play-Way. LET CHILDREN BE CHILDREN.

WHEN TWO STREAMS MET: LESSONS FROM INDIA’S FREEDOM STRUGGLE
0₹299.00About the Book
History is guilty of forgetting the sacrifices of many heroes, without whose contribution independence would never have been possible. Much has been written about our popular leaders, but do we know about the fifteen-year-old who kept shouting slogans while being brutally thrashed in a prison cell, a mother taking the bullet to save her son, or a young female revolutionary consuming poison to avoid capture. Little is known about Bhagat Singh’s daring escape with the help of a young mother, the brutal massacre of the Khudai Khidmatgars at the Qissa Khwani Bazaar, or the journalist murdered while saving people during communal riots…the list is endless. This book attempts to bring to you a few such stories of valour and the lessons we can learn from them.

WHISPERS OF WISDOM: IN PURSUIT OF LAKSHMI
0₹400.00About the Book
Why should a man not born into fame, nor crowned by headlines, write a memoir? In Whispers of Wisdom, R K Singh answers this question with quiet conviction and stirring clarity. A chartered accountant by training but an explorer by instinct, Singh chronicles a life shaped by simplicity, service, and an unyielding commitment to purpose. From a childhood rooted in a small town to a career that spanned boardrooms and some of the world’s poorest regions, this memoir is less about self-celebration and more a generational offering. With over four decades of experience across the public, private, and entrepreneurial sectors, Singh distills his insights not as grand proclamations, but as deeply felt lessons—on work, resilience, relationships, and how to live meaningfully in an age of speed and disconnection. He writes not to boast, but to bequeath: to gift future readers a map of lived wisdom, drawn from soil as much as from spreadsheets.

WHY DON’T YOU CONVERT
0₹245.00About the Book
Why Don’t You Convert? is a collection of twenty-three stories based on true events spanning several decades in the life of the author — from the idyllic early days as a fresh medical graduate in Kashmir, to the trauma of the refugee camps in Jammu. He looks at his subjects not only through the lens of a doctor but also through the prism of a writer, interested in their diseases as much as in the subjects themselves with their myriad physical, psychological and existential problems.
You have the story of a man unable to erase the spit that his father-in-law flings into his face; a young woman caught between the humiliation of rejection and the relentless persuasion to convert; a doctor kidnapped to treat a terrorist in his hideout; a running cricket commentary that brings to life a patient in coma; a pir with magical powers to congeal the blood in the womb of maidens; a dwarfish boy who will stop at nothing to grow tall; an old man who develops intractable hiccups after giving chase to a thief; a bear hug that robs a doctor of his sleep… each story brings alive the human touch as the deft narrative unfolds through scenes and situations, through narratives and dialogues, through drama and suspense, through agony and ecstasy, holding the reader spellbound till the very end.
